Thanks! He actually still does that when we play. Except full-sized he's a bit of a menace now. It's not so much jumping to catch something as it is just him flinging his entire body into the air with reckless abandon. My in-laws who have had cats their whole lives are still astonished by it. I just assumed all cats were as insane, but apparently he's very athletic!

^ I don't really know, Shanndee. I think she's a Birman / European mix. She's a found cat (she found me, to be more precise ), so I don't really know what her origins are. But she does look a lot like a Snowshoe, doesn't she?

^Yes, yes she does. You are very fortunate to have such a striking cat chose you! (I had a cat chose me once...he looked like your tabby with the addition of white feet and a white chest. He was one of the best cats to ever live with us.)
